` garantierteweer ieeeiatle-@Smurf This invention Vrelates Ato improvements in l combination wnenchesajnd particularly that' ytype'which einbo'diesa hammer and nailpnlling device;

rs An importantl objectl of the invention is to provide a device which combines a wrench and hammer head to be `utilized formany different purposes. l

A further object of the invention'isfto pro-V lo videV a device of this `character which mayY A be conveniently transported.

A further obj ect of the invention' is to provide a deviceof thisr character which is comparativ'ely simple yet durable of construction:

i and efficient for the purpose intended.

In the .accompanying drawing forming a part of Athis specification and in Ywhich-like numerals are` employedV to designate like parts throughout the same: f Y

Figurefl isa iside elevation of the device, p Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same,

Fig. 3 isa verticalsectional view taken on the lineB--B of Fig. 1, and Y 4 4 of Fig. 1..

of illustration is shown the preferred em-l bodiment ofv my invention, the numeral 5 l designates a rectangular bar vor shank which serves as the body ofthe device, one"eX-' tremity ofthe body or shank 5V beinglpartiallycovered by a handle 6, whichis secured Y to the bodylby means'- of a screw'7 or .the like, and is constructedof woodor any desirable material. Formed integral',k with the forward portion of the jbody :bar orfshank 5 is ahammer head', generally denoted bythe numeral 8, the bodypof said headbeing some-y what heavier than the .body bar or shank 5 tion 9 formed on the lower portion, the inner face of the nail contactor 9 having arplu.

A guide lbracket 13 ispivotallysecured to` the body Vbar or shank 5 atfga point between the ends thereof and at ay point spacedfrom` the fixed jaw and the row of teeth thereon,

byl means of a rivet 14, 'the pivot ofthe Y l n Vfixed head provided' with a row of teeth, the

bracket being locatedatl a point between the Y "5 median longitudinal dimensionof theshank and that edge of the shank adjacent the row Yoff Yteeth viii-the :repiten Y Fig. 4: is a similar View takenxon vthe line- Y Y p e 'Y surface in orderto enable the ring to be lirmf In the drawing, wherein'for. the purpose' and having i the usual nail-contacting proj ec-..

13 vhaving a Y edge 0of thebar or shank 5I :The bracket'l '1S adapted to carryan adjustable shank 15,

which is practically rectangular in crosssecttion and isprovided with threads 16. The forward portion ofthe shank 15 has 1a jaw l 17 formed thereon, said'jaw being of some-vv n what heavier construction than the shank and havingra plurality of gripping teeth 18 formed` onthe forward face thereof. The -m'ovablejawY 17 is located between the row ofk teeth l() on the liXed j aw 9 and the bracket 13,vv

andthe side edge ofthe movable jaw 17 ,be ing arranged vfor bearing against the `side y surface of the bar or shank at a point tween 'the fixed jaw and-bracket; Y

vIn order tofpermit adjustment of the shank 15 and the jaw 17 carried thereby, `an

formed in vthe guideI bracket ..13 and engages Y the external threads loof the shank 15,y the outer face kof the ring 19 having a nurled ly grasped between the` fingers.

.shank 15 will Vcause movement ofthe jaw 17 in vcontact .with or away from the toothed face'of the hammer head 9, thereby permity .internally threaded ring or nut 19 is posi c, `tionedor.journaledl in a vslot or'opening 20 ting various-sized objects to be retained be- 'tween' the movable jaw 17 land the toothed face ofthe hammer head. 'In addition toV this use, theV 'device may obviouslybe ein structed to withstand/suchapplication. Y 1 iIt is also tol bejnoted thatthe 'claws'll Vformed 1in the upper portion of the hammer headgreatly enhance the utility of the device, asthe necessity forvsuch a toolV is well invention herewith shown and described is toV be takenv as the preferred example ofthe Vknown to those familiar with the mechanical f' i art. i Y

.Itf is to beunderstood 'thatthe form of Vmy,

same, and that various changes Vin the shape, 'y

size, and arrangement of :parts may be Vre-V row off the 'teethbeing disposed at a right Having thus described my invention,

angle to the longitudinal edges ofthe shank, l

9o [ployed Vasta hammer, the head 8 being con-` `edge of the shank adjacent the ro1 of teeth of the fixed jaw, said bracket having a band portion disposed around theopposite side edge of the shank, a movable jaw having a shank slidablyreceived in the bracket, and

a nutcarried by the bracket and engaging the shank of the movable jaw, the said movable jaw being located between the row of teeth of the fixed jaw andthe bracket, and the side edge of the movable jaw bearing directly against the side surface of the firstmentioned shank at a p oint between the fixed jaw and the bracket;

In testimony whereof, Ihave afixed my 20 si gnature.
